ROCHESTER, N.Y. — PGA club pro Michael Block's dream week at the 105th PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club got even better on Sunday.

Block, who started the final round tied for eighth, aced the par-3, 151-yard 15th hole on Sunday. His ball barely touched the green-and somehow never hit the flag-before slamming into the hole and sending fans into a frenzy. «That went into the hole,» said Rory McIlroy, who is playing with Block on Sunday. «No,» Block said. «No way.

No way. Rory, did it go in?» When Block finally became convinced that it had, he raised his black cap and waved it at the fans.

He high-fived McIlroy. Block walked onto the 15th green and grabbed his ball out of the cup, which had been damaged by his slam dunk.
